Lidar
Abstract
A LIDAR includes an emission module, a beam adjustment module and a receiving module, where the beam adjustment module includes a first scanning apparatus and a second scanning apparatus. The emission module is configured to emit a laser beam. The first scanning apparatus is rotated in a first set direction to drive the laser beam to scan along a first direction, and the second scanning apparatus is rotated in a second set direction to drive the laser beam to scan along a second direction. A receiving beam is formed after the laser beam is reflected in the detection region, and the receiving beam is reflected by the second mirror of the second scanning apparatus and then received by the receiving module. The size of the first scanning apparatus can be reduced.
